The SPS – Scanning & Plate sorting system has been created to facilitate the plate management of steel fabricators all over the world. A smart scanning system is used to identify each plate in its dimension, shape and quality. This is the first step to ensue high standards in steel fabrication. After automatically evaluating the characteristics of a plate, a rapidly moving robot sorts the workpiece according to the desiredcriteria into a designated box. Through fitting eachbox with an RFID chip, the position of each plate will be known throughout the complete production process and can be surveyed at any time with WIFI connected tablets.
The SPS features at a glance:
- Full control over quality of add-on parts.
- Full control over location of add-on parts.
- Never losing an add-on part.
- Never assembling a faulty add-on part.
- Data importation: Trimble/Tekla, Aveva/Bocad, Advance Steel, etc.
- Choosing a sorting method (e.g. production phase, beam/bin).
- Auto placement of add-on parts on conveyor.
- Scanning and measuring of add-on parts.
- Auto pick-up of add-on parts.
- Auto placement of parts in correspondent bin and transport of bins via WIFI connected forklifts; this all results in a continuous and efficient work flow.
